Official Panthers Draft Day Thread.

Didn't want to make a thread for this:

Despite our ineptitude of getting anything of quality out of the second round since Ryan Kalil graced us with his probowl talent. Hurney, given the opportunity, will pass on Jenkins despite the fact that he is a shutdown corner with some character concerns using the fact that he has missed on so many other 2nd rounders he will look to that being the excuse to not take another chance on a player such as J.J. Little does Hurney know this one pick could offset all his blunders, and if it doesn't work out?

No one would really blame him, we spent a 2nd round pick on a projected shutdown corner, no big deal, not like we have had anything of use come from the second round in ever anyways.

Post your reaction to us passing on J.J. below:

I honestly don't think Jenkins will last to our pick. Word is a lot of teams are interested in the 2nd, including the Ravens, who pick before us after trading down. The Rams are another team who could take him and they pick twice before we do in the 2nd.

I'd love to have him, but I don't see him falling that far. And if he does, who knows if Hurney takes the gamble? It wouldn't surprise me if we go offense with the pick if Stephen Hill falls or Cordy Glenn. Hurney seems intent on taking a WR.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
